Wallace advises Acumen on its sale to Infor

The Wallace corporate team has successfully advised the founders and senior management team on the sale of Acumen to Infor.

Founded in 2006, Acumen offers software solutions and highly specialised consulting and analytics services to some of the largest global consumer goods companies including L’Oreal, Unilever, Colgate and Heineken. Acumen guides its clients on their complex pricing requirements for promotions and rebates which are core to their operations. Acumen’s expertise guides manufacturers to drive smarter, more informed decision-making to optimise the effect of their promotional investment.

Infor is a global provider of cloud-based software products for industry to 65,000 organisations across 40 countries.

The corporate advice from Wallace was provided by John Woodhouse, Charlotte Wheeldon, Sabrina Mitchell, Sarah Merriott and Alexandra Nicholls with support from the firm’s commercial, IP and employment teams throughout the transaction process.

“It was a pleasure working with the Wallace team on the transaction from start to finish. Sabrina was incredible both in the DD run up and guiding us through the process, while John stepped in seamlessly as required. We had access to the relevant experts on employment, IP, GDPR and other contractual matters whenever required. We truly could not have chosen a better partner and Wallace LLP would be the only choice if I was to go through such a process again”
